Espresso

A sophisticated highlight of Japan's 1980s techno kayō movement, this album surrounds the singer's incredibly delicate, whisper-like vocals with pristine, atmospheric electronics. 'Espresso' utilizes lush digital synthesizers and complex pop arrangements to create a deeply ethereal, metropolitan melancholy. The record remains a highly sought-after artifact for devotees of the more ambient, introspective side of Japanese bubble-era pop.
